Sean Kenney Used 65,000 LEGO Bricks To Recreate The Trump Tower!

These custom LEGO builds keep getting better and better. Over the course of a month artist Sean Kenney and his team recreated the Trump International Hotel & Tower using 65,000 plastic bricks and it stands 10-feet tall!

The real Trump Hotel & Tower has glass covering the entire exterior that reflects the city’s skyline and the team behind this build thought their scaled down version should have the same effect. The only problem is reflective glass LEGO bricks are a little hard to come by.

To pull of the skyline effect they built blue-colored bricks into the tower behind the translucent bricks used to simulate glass. When it was all said and done the effect turned out really well and does a great job making us think we’re actually seeing a reflection of Chicago‘s skyline.

The Trump International Hotel & Tower was recreated along with two other Chicago landmarks -- the Tribune Building and Water Tower Place -- and all three are on permanent display in the Water Tower Place Mall’s LEGO Store in downtown Chicago.
